Who Knew Rugby Could Be So Complicated?

Reality

The holiday was amazing, all three of us were golden brown. Luckily, we had enough sunblock so none of us burnt. Weird fortune teller people kept stopping me and kept telling me the number 2 was significant to me, I never believe in that.

My leg healed perfectly and I went straight back into a game as soon as I could. Luckily it was just in time for the last six nations game against Ireland Women's team and we had good weather for the end of April "Good luck today" I thanked Owen and ran out the car as I was running late. I was just glad to see the girls again.

"Its so good to have you back!" I was greeted by the whole team, "it's like I never left" I laughed with them as we did our usual pre-match sing songs. "I'm glad your back, the pressure they put on me has been so high. I dont match up to you" Emma hugged me. She recently started dating again and shes the happiest shes been. Since being injured, I had put a little bit of weight on, meaning my shirt and shorts were a little tighter than usual.

The game kicked off and I forgot how much I missed being on the pitch. I watched the girls while I was injured but the feeling was not the same. I had an adrenaline rush, I was sprinting faster than I ever had and I was kicking more precise than i ever had. Half time came and we were just behind Ireland, by 7 points. We needed a try.

"What's got into you?" Charly questioned "just glad to be back" Abbi laughed with me. "Need to shake this weight off as well, cant believe it! I've finally got a little roll" the girls laughed at me. Our coach ripped into us and gave us a good talking to before heading back out on the pitch.

I started to get cramping in my stomach and sides but I ignored it as much as I could. Abbi scored another try, leaving me to take the conversion. Straight through the middle of the posts "bloody hell, weve missed you" Abbi patted my back and the game reset. The game went on and we took the lead, eventually winning it. Thanks to Abbi, if it wasnt for her we wouldnt stand a chance. She can not have another baby anytime soon, I laughed to myself.

Two years in a row weve won the six nations and all the girls jumped up and down. The coach joined our celebrations. I could see Owen and Oliver jumping around in the box with Ben, Ellis and Toby. Of course Toby was just being bounced in Owen's arms. Why did I expect anything less?

The celebrations continued in the changing room and Abbi got player of the season. Which was definitely deserved. Im so glad she came back after having Toby. The boys met us outside the stadium and their faces mirrored ours. A sharp shooting pain across my stomach stopped me leaping into Owen's arms. I curled over. I suddenly was surrounded "what's wrong?" "Amelia, words" I just waved my hands "I'll. Be. Fine." I managed to get out between breathes. "Just out of practice" I tried to laugh but it hurt way too much.

"That's it I'm taking you to the hospital" Owen gave Ben Toby and scooped me up into the back of his car. Charly took the car seat for Ollie and took my house keys off me "well be at yours with the kids" "thanks Charly, I'll keep you updated!" The journey to the hospital was quicker than I remembered, Owen was probably speeding every opportunity he got.

The doctors monitored me for a few hours and gave me some medication. I perked up quite quickly once they gave me the medication. I was ordered for bed rest for the next month minimum. I just wanted to get back to the girls and my babies. I wanted to hold Toby.

Before I could leave, I had to do final blood tests just to confirm everything. Of course, it came back fine. We walked out of the hospital "you scared me for a second then" he held my hand "nothing like keeping you on your toes Farrell" I winked at him. "What am i going to do about mini training?" I sighed knowing I couldnt do it "I'll do it, you can come with and guide me" Owen suggested, I nodded enthusiastically.

We got home "oh my are you ok?" "What's happened?" "Are you injured?" "What did they say?" 101 questions started as soon as I walked through the door. Me and Owen looked at each other.

"Well I'm on bed rest for the next month" I sighed "get your feet up then girl" Charly moved everyone off the couch and ushered me to sit down. "Yes mum" I rolled my eyes at her as she ran into the kitchen to get me a water.

"But we have something else to tell you" all eyes shot to me and Owen. Owen who had now sat down next to me with a hand on my thigh.

He pulled out a photo "were expecting twins"
